Writing for Forbes.com, Dan Pontefract shares insights taken from DDI and The Conference Board’s Global Leadership Forecast 2014|2015 in an article titled, The Roots of Becoming a More Effective Leader.

If Dan had his way, every leadership development program would start with a reference to General Sherman, not General Sherman of Union Army fame, but General Sherman, the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) tree located in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, California.

Dan shares how the giant sequoia is a perfect metaphor for the three key levels of leadership he believes need to be considered for today’s leaders who occupy the management ranks and connects the GLF findings identified throughout the article.
